The adopted cat returned to its original owner a year later and has been looking for a way home.
Regarding the adoption conditions of stray cats, there has always been a dispute between adopters and those who put them up for adoption. Some people think that some adoption conditions are too harsh, such as requiring adopters to produce real estate certificates, ID cards, reserve deposits, regular return visits, etc.
It is really difficult to adopt a cat, and personal information may be leaked. It is better to buy a cat.
In my opinion, it is very necessary to set some thresholds for adopters. The easier it is to get, the less we tend to cherish it, and the same is true for cats. There are many people who use adoption as an excuse to deceive cats into their hands, and then do not raise them well, abandon them midway, or even abuse them.
Recently, a scavenger in Shenzhen, Guangdong Province, regretted so much that a wrong decision she made a year ago almost changed the fate of a cat. What happened?
01The cat adopted a year ago turned out to be a stray
In early October this year, when a feces scraper in Shenzhen went out to eat with his friends, a little white cat jumped out of nowhere. As soon as the little cat saw the poop scraper, he ran towards her excitedly, and kept rubbing against the poop scraper, meowing non-stop.
The strange thing is that this cat only seems to show kindness to the shit scraper and turns a blind eye to her friends. The friend is very envious and praises the shit scraper for her cat-sucking physique. She can be touched by cats even when she goes out to eat.
The little white cat is very dirty, but it can't hide its beauty. Its two mandarin duck eyes, one blue and one yellow, are like two bright diamonds, shining in the dark night.
The scavenger gently stroked the cat's head, but the more she looked at it, the more she felt it seemed familiar. Isn't this cat the same one she took in a year ago? That little white cat named "Erba"!
The shit shoveler tried to call out "Eight", and the little guy actually meowed in response.
Cat: Master, I am Erba. Do you really remember me?
Yes, it is Erba. It is a stray cat that was rescued by the shit collector a year ago. As a cat lover, the shit shovel rescues many stray cats every year, helps them with medical treatment, and finds owners for them. Erba is one of the many cats that the shit shovel has given to him for adoption.
When I picked it up, it was still a little cat, and now it has become a big cat. I still have many photos of it when I was 28 years old on my phone. At that time, it had a good temper, was super clingy, and always liked to follow behind me.
Why does a cat that should be taken good care of and loved by its owner appear here and become a stray cat?
The scavenger carefully inspected the cat's body and found that there were many deep and shallow scars on its head and body. "Does it hurt, 28?" the scavenger asked it.
When we met a year later, not only was there no joy of seeing each other again after a long separation, but instead, there was full of regret and sadness. Looking at the scarred Erba, the shit-sweeper's tears fell unsatisfactorily.
When Erba was given away for adoption, the owner clearly promised that he would take good care of him and never leave him. Now, Erba was not only abandoned, but also covered in injuries. The scavenger wanted to question Erba's owner, but found that he had already lost contact with him.
02 The injuries on the cat were actually man-made!
The next day, the scavenger took the cat to the pet hospital. The examination results made her extremely heartbroken. The little guy had large areas of strangulation marks on his neck, back, chest, and abdomen. The doctor said that these wounds did not look like animal bites, but were probably caused by humans!
Looking at the shocking scars hidden under the fur, the shit shovel officer felt extremely regretful.
Poor Erba! How did you spend this year? What did that cruel master do to you? How did you escape from his clutches and find yourself after all the hardships?
Pooper: Let’s go! Twenty-eight, I went home with my mother, and I no longer have to endure hardships!
The poop scraper decided to raise Erba by herself, because after this incident, she could no longer trust the cat to others.
No one knows how it spent the year of 28. It has been looking for its way home! The longing for the shit shovel supports it to move forward bravely, across thousands of mountains and rivers, and finally returns to the person it misses. This is probably the mission of a cat.
03 It is necessary to restrict the conditions for cat adopters
In my opinion, the tragedy of February 8th can actually be avoided. It is actually very necessary to set some conditions for adopters, at least to screen out those who are truly responsible and not those who have ulterior motives for cats.
I also object to those restrictive and cumbersome rules, such as providing real estate certificates, ID cards and other documents that may reveal personal information.
It is necessary to reserve a deposit, mainly to test the owner's enthusiasm for raising a cat on impulse. The deposit will be returned after the deadline.
In addition, regular return visits are also necessary. Return visits can take the form of photos, videos, visits, etc. based on the adopter's own situation. The frequency does not need to be too high, just once a month, so that the adopter can learn about the cat's health status in a timely manner and prevent cat abuse.
In order to contact the adopter in time, it is necessary to reserve basic information such as name and contact information. In addition, the adopter should be satisfied with details such as high-level window sealing, vaccines, and sterilization.
It is best for both parties to sign a written agreement. This not only restricts the adopter, but also provides reassurance to the adopter. It is for the good of the cat from beginning to end.
The cat that the adopter worked so hard to rescue just wants to find a warm home for it. The restrictions on adoption conditions are also to prevent stray cats from being harmed. After all, they have suffered too much.
